Chapter 241

Their discussion continued for a while. Tally revealed to Kathryn that she had made arrangements for an abortion at a hospital. She mentioned that the doctor involved was her friend.Since Kathryn was Chris' wife, she had to be careful in doing anything, unlike before. Any leaks could have significant consequences, especially if Chris were affected."Tally, you're a lifesaver." Tally's thoughtful arrangements deeply moved Kathryn. Tally sighed. "What else would you have done if I hadn't stepped in?"It was a valid point. Even though Kathryn had a mother, it felt like she had none.Their discussion carried on until Chris phoned Kathryn.Tally informed Kathryn that the hospital appointment was scheduled for the following afternoon. She suggested Kathryn find some excuse to leave.The moment Tally and Kathryn left the café, a woman, who had been sitting beside them, took off her cap.Mia's face was pale. Darkness flashed across her eyes. "Kathryn Michaels, how dare you …" Mia t

Kathryn's phone rang suddenly, just as both Kathryn and Chris were about to speak. Kathryn pulled out her phone to check. It was from an unknown number. The phone call provided a timely diversion for Kathryn. She succeeded in steering the conversation away. "Excuse me for a moment. Let me take this call."Before Chris could say anything, Kathryn left the office with her phone.A smile graced Chris' lips as he watched her leave. He admired Kathryn's audacity. Although he had instructed Markus to focus the investigations on Tally, he had his suspicions. In fact, he was pretty confident in his conjecture. Kathryn hurried outside and answered the call. "Hello.""Kathryn." Lloyd's gentle voice emanated from the phone. His voice sent a shiver down Kathryn's spine. She couldn't pinpoint exactly what she was afraid of.Kathryn surmised that her apprehension might stem from the physical contact she'd shared with him that night at Southvale. Chris even made a fuss about it. She did

Kathryn didn't want to make things complicated. Therefore, she ultimately sought Chris' permission. She was not willing to bear the consequences of Chris learning of her private meeting with Lloyd. Chris' intense gaze met hers when she entered the office. Chris was the first to speak. "Who was it?"Kathryn didn't hide it from him. She said, "Mr. Robbins.""Lloyd Robbins?" Chris' face fell instantly. He was surprised that Kathryn and Lloyd were still contacting each other in private.Observing his reaction, Kathryn knew right away that Chris was displeased. Lloyd seemed to be a taboo subject. Kathryn blamed Llyod for her current circumstances. "Why did he have to employ a woman to seduce him when they were discussing their collaboration?" Kathryn mused.Kathryn was confident that the collaboration's failure was due to Alexandra. However, she understood that Lloyd wouldn't know what a gentleman would be like.Kathryn nodded. "Yes. It's Mr. Lloyd Robbins."Kathryn's tone was cal

A sense of apprehension enveloped Tally whenever Kathryn phoned her now. She believed something must have happened."Tally, there will be a medical check-up this afternoon!""What?""Mr. Albert told me just now. He said that it's compulsory for everyone.""But why must it be today?" Tally was stunned as well. A medical check-up wasn't something Kathryn needed at the moment.Kathryn knew what it meant. She was extremely anxious. Her mind was in a mess."I don't know!" They had no idea why the medical check-up had to be done suddenly. It was supposed to be next month."You can't go," Tally said.Albert Group had always offered a thorough medical check-up for their staff. If Kathryn attended the medical check-up, there was no doubt that she would be unable to hide that she was pregnant."I know! But Mr. Albert had told me about it in particular. I don't think I can run away from it.""You must, no matter what!" Tally said fiercely.Kathryn wanted to cry. Things were different f

Elise turned and headed to Chris' office. Mia raised her gaze and met Kathryn's eyes.Their eyes met, and Mia's subtle smile hinted at satisfaction. Kathryn wasn't sure what the change in Mia's demeanor meant. Before Kathryn could figure it out, Elise emerged from the office. Her face was notably more somber than when she had entered."What happened, Elise?" Mia noticed the change in her expression and swiftly extended a comforting hand toward her.Elise glanced at Mia and sighed. "Seems that he's really mad at you."Mia was silent. Of course, she knew Chris was still mad at her. She didn't know the consequences were so difficult for her to bear when he was angry.She had no idea what to do. She had lost everything. She had even lost her financial support from Vincent and was relegated to living in a modest hotel room. She couldn't afford a suite. Elise sighed. "Maybe you should go back first.""He doesn't want to see me?"Kathryn was walking past them. Elise's expression tu

Chris was alone in his office. He had just lit his cigarette when he saw Mia enter his office. His face fell instantly.He reached for his phone, but Mia grabbed his hand to stop him."I insisted on entering. It has nothing to do with anyone else," Mia said, sounding aggrieved. Yet, her voice was gentle.Chris glanced at her coldly. "Let go of me."His tone was distant. Mia's heart skipped a beat upon hearing it. She took a deep breath and asked, "Do you really hate me this much?"She was choking up as she spoke. Her eyes reddened. She recalled how much she missed him when she was abroad. There wasn't just grievance in her heart. There was also hate.Chris didn't say a word. He withdrew his hand. Disgust flashed across his eyes as he did so.Mia was relieved when she saw that Chris didn't seem to intend to kick her out of his office. Everyone at the office was watching. There might even be Krista's people among them. If she was thrown out, Krista might start nagging again."I

Meanwhile, Elise, in the assistants' department, was relieved when Mia stayed inside Chris' office for more than five minutes. She thought things wouldn't be wrong if Chris didn't kick her out immediately.If nothing happened to Mia, there wouldn't be any consequences for them either.Elise thought there must be hope for Mia to make up with Chris. She looked triumphant when she glanced at Kathryn. Kathryn couldn't be bothered about it. It was almost time for her to get off work. Kathryn had to go to Albert Manor. She had figured out how she should go to the hospital.However, the office atmosphere wasn't as good as Elise had expected. Mia thought Chris was furious as he remained silent and said nothing. She continued adding fuel to the fire."She looked so honest and timid. I couldn't believe she had the courage to marry you with someone else's child." Mia emphasized that Kathryn was pregnant with someone else's child. She aimed to incite Chris with every word. However, Chri

Mia looked at Chris numbly. She didn't understand what he meant."What do you mean?" Mia was puzzled."It wasn't someone else's child? But if it's not, why did she want an abortion?" she thought. Mia was confident that Kathryn wanted an abortion because she had betrayed Chris. She believed that was why Kathryn was so eager to get rid of the child.Mia's heart ached as she looked at Chris' expression."I didn't know you are so fond of accusing others without evidence." Chris sounded like he was disgusted, leaving Mia breathless. "Are you saying that the child …" Mia faltered in continuing her thought. She gazed at Chris in disbelief. She couldn't believe Kathryn was carrying Chris' child.It felt implausible. If Kathryn were indeed carrying Chris' child, she would've appreciated it instead. The child could solidify her position in the Albert family. She believed Kathryn would not ignore such an advantage.Unaware of what Kathryn was concealing from Chris, Mia was certain Kathr

Mia emerged from Chris' office with tear stains all over her face. Elise, who had been gloating, stiffened when she saw her.Mia cast a fierce glare at Kathryn, sneering as she headed toward the elevator. Elise followed her.Kathryn was puzzled. She found her behavior somewhat baffling.She was tidying up her table at the moment. She was also preparing herself to phone Chris later.Just then, the office phone rang. Kathryn knew it was Chris calling. She answered the phone immediately. "Mr. Albert."Emily and Tara, who were working, noticed that Chris had called Kathryn instead of Elise. The realization struck them that Elise's command had been overridden."Come to my office now," Chris said indifferently."Alright, I'll come right now," Kathryn replied.After hanging up the phone, Kathryn placed her things on the table and hurried to Chris' office. The atmosphere within was icy as she pushed the door open, the sensation akin to the bite of winter's chill.Chris was extinguishi

Chris' irritation intensified upon seeing Kathryn's perplexed expression. But as he recalled that she was pregnant, he reasoned her confusion was normal. He then cooled down for a bit."I thought you were going to Albert Manor?""Oh, yes. Yes, I'm ready for that.""Let's go."Kathryn was stunned."Y-you're coming with me?" Kathryn gasped, locking eyes with him.Chris raised his brows. "Any problem?"Though Kathryn was eager to convey the sizable problem at hand, she felt too overwhelmed. Tally had scheduled an abortion appointment. If Chris joined her, it would be impossible for her to go to the hospital. Kathryn wanted to kill herself when she remembered the upcoming medical check-up."N-No problem!" Kathryn had no courage to voice her concerns. Chris stood up. "Let's go."Hurriedly, Kathryn followed suit. Chris had earlier assured her he wouldn't accompany her to Albert Manor. Kathryn was perplexed at his sudden change of plans. Her anxiety deepened. As they headed
